- Er, not exactly. There must be scrollbars visible, otherwise there's
- nothing to scroll! :-) But you can achieve this simply by reducing the
- size of an 80x25 window. Or, as suggested above, by using the mode
- command to increase the dimensions to something like 80x50 or 80x25.
- Note that you can do this from the prompt. No need to have a /k
- statement in your settings. Just type "mode 80,102".
-
- The trick is that you have to click with the *RIGHT* mouse button! I
- suspect that this is the reason Don failed to make it work.
